We’ve hit you with some all-time “dumb” tweets in the past but how about we go in a different direction?

Below, we’ve compiled some of our favorite tweets of all-time. They’re either of historical significance, are a perfect reflection of pop culture, or are just really friggin’ funny. Let’s dive in!

1. The Guy That Live-tweeted the Bin Laden Raid

People have live-tweeted matters of some importance without realizing it at the time, sure. But this guy, Sohaib Athar (@ReallyVirtual) actually live-tweeted the Abottabad raid of Osama Bin Laden that led to the famed terrorist’s death. Holy crap, dude!

This tweeter set up a Twitter joke… and then waited five years to deliver the punchline. Seriously—five friggin’ years. That’s incredible discipline.
